New Work – Young and Fun
February 20th, 2012 | Author: Jessica | Filed under: Interior Design, Portfolio | 1 Comment »Not every client is a great fit for a designer: sometimes you get the gig, put in the time, do the best you can, and finally call it a day. Then, after working in the drudges a bit, it’s as if the universe decides you passed a test and you get rewarded with kind, creative, and understanding people who appreciate what you do and can see the benefit of letting go and allowing you take the lead. A collaboration is formed, and you can always see what type of creative environment was going on behind the scenes in the finished project. If you get the latter situation, it’s simply better.
This was a project like that and I feel strongly that it is a lovely and inviting design because of the positive and productive collaboration. Thank goodness, because having people tell you over and over again you’re wrong really sucks.
Now – happy, pretty picture time.
Living Room
The young couple had so many amazing photos from their travels that we decided to use them as a focal point above the couch. The color scheme of pink, orange, gray, and green ties the room together.
Overall view of the long living room
To break up the space and make it more user-friendly, we created two seating areas. One for more lounging and television watching and the other as extra seating for parties and a landing point before heading into the four seasons room.
Cozy Fireplace (that chair used to look like this)

Original screenprints
Four Seasons Room/Library
There was a cute room leading to their backyard that became an extra spot for possible dining in a big party, and a great place to add a small library without cutting into their main living space.
Home Office for a Graphic Designer
We wanted bold colors and patterns to help inspire a graphic designer in his office/studio. Those chairs were recovered and initially a gray color.
Seating area in case clients stop by
We’re busy working on the beginning stages of a large commercial project now. We can’t wait to make a huge space feel as comfortable as this residential space.
